    Just had to share...

    Been trying hard not to post the link, but I can't help it.

    ahhh yes the elusive monkey mantis breakdance form.

    The reason you might not recognize this particular form is becuse it is only taught to the most well respected and highest ranked students from the ever feared crackerjack box prize winners from the carmel mountain monestary.

    Thanks for posting that N. I think I will be able to pick it up off of youtube and add it to my curriculum.

    I found another one from the same style. I REALLY like the music they put with the second form on this clip. I am going to redo all of my vid like this.

    I think all styles should set their forms to this bands music. This vid set the bar very high for the rest of us.

    Talking

    Com'on guys, I have a hard time keeping my lunch down.

    I think the clip should be labelled gross indecency crapola.

    Happy New Year guys

    Yah, I didn't want to bash either. The clip speaks for itself. Maybe I shouldn't have posted the link.

    Mantid1, you win. I admit defeat.

    Hey, don't you know it only looks different because that's the "combat" form of Mantis.


    Actually, I used to type like that on the computer. Back when I trained the "combat" version of COBOL.

    Doesn't surprise me. SD has 4 mantis forms in their curriculum, from green sash to 3rd black. Not exactly a focal point, sad to say.

    luckily I have great regenerative powers and my eyes are back to normal now.

    you know, sadly...it's just sad. It's not like they can't look around and see for themselves what's what and what isn't what.


    however, I just made this point to naja in a PM

    if they label whatever they do as 'Shaolin-Do__________' than we can't really argue or debate it. Sin The' is Shaolin-Do so whatever he says is Shaolin-Do do is that very thing.

    It's just not a lot of other things.

    Unfortunately these cats exert a lot of control, and to a certain extent IMO, brainwashing in their schools. I have a handful of buddies back in NM that train with SD, and they were never allowed to come to any seminar I put on, or hosted. Not allowed to attend tournaments that were not sanctioned by the hairy monk of Shaolin...etc. etc. etc. So a lot of these people DON'T actually get to see what else is out there. I suppose with the net it has changed, but still....
    I don't know, maybe people are genuinley pleased with what they get there. I don't know why they would keep going back otherwise. I don't understand it, but then again I don't understand how people can still have faith in the Catholic Church, but that is a rant for another time.
